castle_perrault | [Open] Unreasonable Behaviour

A . (for your character to end up a snack or escape and spread the word; indicate which in your subject line!)

He’s found the underwater lake. It’s nice, for the most part, but just like the fish in the river the fare is disappointingly slimy and unappetizing. Seeing as he hasn’t found the kitchen yet (a shame!) he turns to the next source of food—those wandering about the castle. The first to go is a small white cat lazing about on a chair; tufts of fur remain on the floor, and he continues on. The castle is large enough to send him on af ew circles; but finally, he sees someone down a hall, and makes his lumbering way towards them.

B. (for your character to lay a beatdown on Croc, or for Croc to lay a beatdown on your character….)

He takes to roaming the halls during the night. It’s quieter, the birds are asleep, he has free rein; it’s daresay, nice. He’s still angry. It bubbles up in his chest like a red foam, leads to clawmarks being engraved in the stone, chairs turned on their head or otherwise made into splinters.

Croc is a simple man, sometimes. Sometimes he likes to scheme and plot, and finds himself quite adept at that! Other times… well, other times, someone’s just gotta get their head caved in. Said someone is going to find a big, scaled surprise in the library.

Barnaby barely allows himself a moment to feel proud as he sees Croc slam into the bookshelves, only to see Croc hurtling towards him. He doesn't have time to dodge. All he can do is throw his arms up as he's thrown back against the wall.

His head bounces against hard stone, his body practically leaves a crater in the wall... but within seconds, Barnaby is back up on his feet, just looking a little more bruised and breathless. Hopefully, no bones are broken. If they are, he won't feel the pain for a few more minutes. He charges the monster again, aiming to slam his fist into Croc's snout.

Croc laughs as Barnaby goes flying backwards. As is, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place; the wall and Croc. It's enough that he's caught off-guard when Barnaby pops up as if the wallop was merely a minor setback.

That wouldn't do. This time, instead of charging, he meets Barnaby's own charge head-on, arms spread wide-- when he gets hit, Barnaby also has to come within grabbing range. They both go down.

He is a bit stuck, which isn't usually his style. He should be hanging back, waiting for opportunities to strike... but first he needs to get out of this crocodile's grip.

Barnaby grunts, struggling and then physically ripping himself from Croc's grip. He gets a few more scrapes, but he tries to scramble to his feet and then kick Croc in the gut. Hopefully it'll give him a chance to pin the monster down.

As Barnaby struggles, Croc tightens his grip like a scaly, homicidal vise; he's trying to suffocate Barnaby. Fast he may be, but it's difficult to run away while unconscious. Croc recognizes the glow-and-strength thing from Kotetsu, earlier.

This one, he decides, won't get away. He'll eat him alive. Start with the legs, draw it out. Make it so he can't scurry off, either.

Unfortunately, his opponent succeeds in wrenching himself from Croc's grip, lands a hit-- he still hits like a freight train. Croc collapses, and swipes out with his claws at Barnaby's ankles.

Suffocation is not a good sign. Barnaby gasps for air as he struggles, but at least his Hundred Power ensures that his weakened struggling hits just as hard as ever. He tries to scramble back, but one of his ankles gets torn into. He yelps and stumbles backwards.

He's running out of time, and even with his power, he's getting wounded. He has to think of some sort of strategy here. Watching the croc lumber around, bumping into shelves, gives him an idea.

He darts past Croc, hoping he'll turn to follow... meaning he'll have left his back exposed as Barnaby kicks a nearby shelf and starts a chain reaction.

Croc is that much of a threat; he's gone head-to-head with Bane before, and even a friendly brawl like that leveled an entire room.

But he's been getting in to scrapes all day, and he's fatigued. When Barnaby runs past him, he obligingly turns-- and gets trapped by the falling bookshelves.

He saw it coming, but his momentum couldn't be stopped. So here he is, weary muscles protesting the effort it takes to try and get his arms under him to push up.

"I'll rip you apart!"

Had he said that yet? Well, repetition is the key to memorization, in any way-- and Croc doesn't want to forget his threat.

Barnaby should be used to threats after fighting several robotic copies of his partner, as well as a force field-blasting terrorist. Honestly, those aren't as terrifying to him as the ones that are minimal threats physically. It's the ones that can get in his head that really bother him.

Destroy his body all you like, Croc. So long as you don't make him lose himself again.

He hops up on one of the bookcases, actually looking proud of himself for a second.

"You can keep saying that. I don't think it's going to happen."

As Croc staggers back up, Barnaby aims to knee him in the gut. Hopefully if he forces the monster down enough times, he eventually won't get back up.

As Barnaby comes towards him, Croc has had enough. He grabs a bookshelf by the top part and swings it around, hitting Barnaby full on the side. The bookcase is released as soon as it connects, leaving it and its target to fly across the room.

Croc won't be able to fight much longer. He has to go and recuperate.

While Barnaby is otherwise distracted, Croc slips away deeper into the librry.

That's... definitely going to leave a mark. Barnaby lets out a yell that's a mix of shock and rage as he hurtles through the air, cut off when he hits the wall and the air leaves his body. The bookcase splinters around him, and by the time he's pulled himself out of the rubble, it seems that the monster is gone.

"Dammit!"

His angered swearing probably reaches Croc, wherever he's gone. He can feel anxiety boiling up inside him, wondering where the monster could have gone, what he's doing now, how much danger Kotetsu and the others could be in... but the blue glow of his Hundred Power fades not long after, and the realization of how hard Croc actually hit him sets in with a burst of pain in his ribs.

He can't do anything more like this. Besides, he's done enough to send Croc off licking his wounds for a while. He has to rest now. Go back to Kotetsu. It's probably the promise of seeing his partner that gets him to stumble away to safety.
